Are you talking about BASIC-PLUS-2? RSTS BASIC-PLUS dates from 1970, and was
written under contract for DEC by Evans, Griffiths & Hart ("EGH"). It is
essentially a P-code compiler, to use terminology that didn't appear until
later; it doesn't generate any machine code. And as far as I know, it is not
based on any BASIC implementation for any other system.
As for BLISS, there's BLISS-16 and BLISS-11. One came from Carnegie-Mellon;
the other was built at DEC. Both are cross-compilers, but I don't remember
which platform. PDP-10 for both? 10 for one and VAX for the other?
